There's a 275, and even a 295 (!), but that shit woulda looked boy racer out the ass.

This is spot on for my taste, and no rubs.
245's in a 15, same rubber as you.

Try to source them today.

They're kinda phasing out a lot of their 15" sizes. All new cars have bigger shoes.

So now they have the 245s...but can you get the rears 20mm wider, in a 265, for the right overall stagger?

I'm happy with what I got...I think more might have been too much. The whole car is subtle, no sidepipes, flat hood. I think the sizes look right without being boy racer, which is what I wanted. The redlines looked too fucking stodgy.

To me, this is just right.
